Overall a great update to the game. Am happy to see that there is a concerted effort from GW to better include those mid range fighters that saw very little use for years. I'm a bit bummed about the increase in points to Quiv and the Son's of Velmorn (mainly because I like playing them so much), but as a Hunter's of Huanchi player I'm very happy to see that points decrease for so many units. I'm still not gonna use dart pipers (I converted them to Claws anyway), but moonclubbers and horn blower will be seeing more action now that I have some point space for them.

Great job putting this out so quickly. There's a lot I like here] and even the stuff that affects some of my warbands negatively I think is fair. was hoping for a points drop on Flesh Hounds, but... I DON'T think any of this is enough to solve the mid-range trap though - I think mid-range units are in no better position than they were before, though you might see an additional one taking the place of a chaff unit for players who don't use blessings when they have to reduce their warband size and have some points left unspent.
@OffMetaMusings

I don't think that the problem will be totally solved (because that kind of needs a BIG overhaul of alot of fighters) but even with the reduction of those lists at the top by one or two fighters, it's a pretty significant change

Seems like a good time to get into Warcry. Been looking into for it a while, how would you say Gitz are for a complete beginner despite their nerfs?
@OffMetaMusings
@OffMetaMusings Ай бұрын
If you are a beginner I wouldn't worry too much about the hits (the Brewgit was hit thanks to everyone using it and Prog because it was just cheaper then the other alternatives and way better). Gitz have the problem that their basic boys are made of paper with low toughness and only 6 wounds though they do have some very good pieces in the Bounder boss and can use trolls to good effect.

@OffMetaMusings
@OffMetaMusings 2 ай бұрын
The general rule of thumb for events is to use whatever the most uptodate base is supplied with the miniature, so the big boy in this case. At Warhammer World we use the big base, but its always worth checking with your TO about it. Casually, it might not matter so much but the base size is definitely a consideration when moving the mini around the board, especially with terrain.

@@OffMetaMusings they are quite solid. Yet in this update GW forgot to include them in the Grand Alliance allegiance list. And they have two abilities - Shield Ram and Brutal Swing - that have issues (in my opinion). Both of those abilities have direct equivalents in some Compendium warbands, like Shield Ram from Slaves to Darkness or Spire Tyrants or Beheading Strike from Soulblight Gravelords and Scions of the Flame. The issue here is the fact that for all those warbands those abilities were updated for the 2nd edition, but the Chaos Legionnaires somehow got wordings from the 1st edition, making those abilities of the Legionnaires worse than essentially the same abilities in other warbands. Maybe it’s a question of balancing abilities, but the fact that they were not included in the Grand Alliance allegiance list makes me think they were in fact forgotten

I took Demons of Nurgle to the 24th April event Warhammer World and I pretty much ended up saying to every opponent on the day that they're too cheap. Increase to 60pts for plaguebearers is a good move IMO. They're a fun faction to play but going up against a faction with toughness 4 across the board AND more wounds than average AND an ability economy based almost entirely around doubles AND they outnumber you can be fairly obnoxious. I like the balance changes for the most part but I do feel that some of the points changes have been done specifically to address units that are popular allies and this has had the unfortunate effect of hitting anyone who plays those factions stand alone a bit too hard. I'd personally like to see them make allies cost something. Currently as the game stands playing a pure faction is basically gimping yourself which doesn't sit right with me.
@OffMetaMusings
@OffMetaMusings 2 ай бұрын
I think that with the increasing numbers of events that are happening (and the numbers are going up on both events and attendance) they kind of had to do a mostly matched play balance update which this totally sits in (and that means addressing allies without doing a whole hog overhaul of the ally system). I understand your pov though.

Nice to see somethings get adjusted and that the game is getting some attention. Hopefully, they take a look at Skaven moving forward. No point adjustment for the leaders and troops after the nerfs to lead from the back. Worse is that the Giant Rat didn't get a point slash with it sitting at the same point level as a clear number of better choices. The Kreep Kinwisper model having a giant net in hand without rules for it really sucks.
@OffMetaMusings
@OffMetaMusings 2 ай бұрын
I totally agree on giant rats. However I'd like to see what the impact is on the changes before doing anything else; I do think that just by virtue of stuff at the top being hit, other warbands will look better in comparison. For example, I've been using stormvermin recently to great effect (coming to an event near you!) And stormfiends didn't get hit at all

Great Video! I for one think they went a little too far with the Kharadron. I think we will see a huge drop in their win rate because of this as now, not only did the point nerf hurt them, but fight for profit has become a conditional buff to range, one that isint that big. This has a knock on effect that aethercanons now can have 2 attacks at best per action. This means that they are next to worthless in kill missions or any mission that isint an objective mission. Treasure missions is what they could still be used but there are multiple treasure missions that damage the model that has it. so now not only do they have to GET a treasure in a pack, with their piss poor movement on the non flyers, but they have to hold it for multiple rounds. We will see an uptick in ballon lists and an overall downgrade on kharadron win rate. All this has the knock on effect that soulblight is going to win more. Their nerfs by no means break their lists and what many would say is their hard countert (range) has taken a huge beating. Range lists are now worse off in order and soulblight have an indirect buff in the form of better nighthaunt models across the board. I think the update was overall good but as an order player who enjoys range, I think this is a bit much. Also please buff drakling convens kthxbye
